Vitiligo Treatment
Vitiligo, also known as Leucoderma or White Patches illness/White Spots disease, is a common depigmentation condition that causes depigmentation of the body’s skin, resulting in white patches or white spots. It affects roughly 1% of the world’s population. These depigmentation patches or white spots caused by vitiligo have a very striking and disfiguring effect on the dark skin of the body and face, creating severe psychological issues.
Though the actual cause of Vitiligo or white patches illness/white spots disease affecting the body and face is unknown.
Types of Vitiligo
- Generalized- most common type, when macules appear in various places on the body.
- Segmental- restricted to one side of the body or one area, such as the hands or face.
- Mucosal- affects mucous membranes of the mouth and/or the genitals.
Vitiligo Treatment or White Patches Treatment focuses on enhancing the appearance of your skin by restoring its colour. The face and trunk are the most successful sites for re-pigmentation; hands, feet, and places with white hair respond poorly. New patches are more likely to respond to medical care than long-standing patches.
